Busy Saturday
Dec. 8th, 2012 10:56 pmNipped into town at 09.00 to pick up a parcel, needn't have bothered, there was another red note when I got home tonight. So another parcel to pick up on Wednesday, when they are open late.
10.00 bus to Warrington, lovely sunny morning, bus goes all round the little villages between here and Warrington, there's snow on the hills in the distance.
Finished the Yule present shopping, hurrah! Walked my feet off.
Beef burger and chips for lunch at a little independent cafe, very nice and very welcome.
I called into Boots opticians, my glasses have been less than comfortable since they were re-glazed in the summer. A nice, and clearly very expert, lady adjusted them and fitted soft nose pads, she was a glasses wearer so understood what I was saying; they were digging in. They now feel much more comfortable, they feel as though they are floating on my face.
I bought some lovely shiny red Indian glass yule tree baubles from TK Maxx, I really regret not buying some in gold too, there's no one on my flist with a handy TK Maxx is there? I really can't drag myself all the way back into Warrington, just for a fivers worth of tree baubles!
I got a different bus home, one which goes into Northwich town centre and walked the mile and a half back home in drizzle, home at 16.45.
I had dinner and then went out to Tesco for the weekly shop. Lots of fruit and veg reduced to pennies, bought several packs of apricots and raspberries for a pittance, I like going to supermarkets late on a Saturday. £2.50 Finest raspberries for 30p, om, nom, nom.
The evening has been spent wrapping Yule presents, drinking red wine and watching Paul (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's Alien film) which was moderately amusing but not the genius level of Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz. Some of the in-jokes were funny though.
Tomorrow, a little walk, I think.
